"If you look at the recidivist rate of people that go in and come out-especially people with drug problems-Lindsay needs her life back and the only way she's going to do that is if she get a longer term program that's customized for what her problems are."

For rehab to work, the person needing it has to admit they have a problem and actually want help.

How many pleas does this make? If he would just do all this away from the media, she might actually listen. She already feels like he is using her for his own gain so his daily media events are just proving that. Do it in private!

He's a boob but at least he's trying. Dina denies that Lindsay has a problem. But when LL OD's, Dina will blame everyone under the sun. Stop being her BFF and be her mother.

Sorry Pops, Her potential for going to jail is not about her need for rehab it is about her not being able to put herself above the law.

If you were truly concerned, you would quit using her as a photo op. Communication only happens when both parties are invested, and you will never get her trust this way. So show a true act of love and keep your mouth shut to the reporters.

The courts are not there to hand hold people with dependency issues and whom have dillusions of self importance. They only process the laws and punish those who do not follow them.

did lindsay ever get her ged? i thought she dropped out after the 11th grade and was supposed to be home schooled (roll eyes). i can't imagine dina being able to teach a dog to fetch, forget about teaching a child.
